iPhone and iPad users have got too many updates in a week: Apple has pushed out iOS 9.3.1 just a few days after the previous update in order to fix a bug that caused iPhones and iPads to lock up, batteries to drain and links to be inoperative. The update fixes a problem caused by rogue 3rd-party applications that were found to overload one of the core components of Apple’s operating system processing links within apps.

BREIN has recently won ex-parte injunctions against the members of the local torrent release group named 2Lions-Team. Five members must pay damages totaling nearly $75,000. Besides, the group was required to remove thousands of torrents shared on the largest trackers of the world, including us.

Jack Dorsey, one of Twitter’s founders and its newly-reinstated CEO, confirmed that the much-loved 140-character limit of the service is “staying.” The recent speculations about the microblogging service switching from a 140-character limit to a 10,000-character limit faced opposition from Twitter users who felt committed to the platform’s built-in brevity.

According to media reports, Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson and JJ Abrams support Napster founder's new service that would make major movies available at home on the day they hit cinemas.
